Today we will talk about the evaluation of positions in chess by using two different approaches: a Classical method that has been tested a lot and a totally new one, so-called Chuzhakin System. This system was developed by a Russian chess player Evgeny Chuzhakin. We will try to figure out which approach is superior and why.

Have you noticed how chess masters easily and flawlessly find a winning combination and win the game, while other players struggle and cannot achieve the same? Have you ever wondered why does that happen like that and what can you do to achieve master’s performance? Look no further.

Today I will show you the 10 things that master level players do differently from the rest.

There are not that many players out there who enjoy chess training process more than actually playing and winning the games itself. The last thing you want to do is to spend your valuable time training in the ways that do nothing good for your chess. While no chess training technique is totally useless, some are not effective enough to invest your time on. Let’s find out which ones!

You probably heard many times, from different chess players and coaches that if you want to improve your chess you need to do this, this and that. What if you tried all that and it did not work? Should you get disappointed and give up chess forever?

Probably not, and if you’re reading this you’ve made the right choice and keep trying to get better.

Chess is a unique game where there is always something to improve. Even the likes of Carlsen and Kasparov can find something to work on in their chess arsenal.

Yes, it is hard to change things drastically in the short period of time, but with a proper plan, everything can be achieved!

My results would have been better, much better. This article is for those who just starting out playing chess and want to avoid mistakes many players make.

Many of the chess players want to improve their chess playing skills for whatever reason. Some players just don’t like losing in general, at anything. They see improvement at chess as a way to avoid this big disappointment. Some players want to win tournaments to get trophies. In order to increase the probability of the success, they see training as a necessary stepping stone. Others want to achieve a FIDE norm (FM, IM, GM, WGM, etc.).
